OpenAIRE has issued some recommendations for solidifying and advancing open science in FP9.

FP9 is about carrying out research through mission oriented goals, co-creation and co-design, and is about responsible and reproducible research that provides sustainable approaches to societal problems in an ever growing arena of data where fact-checking and evidence policy are in the centre.

It is thus more important than ever to strengthen Open Science in its many incarnations and empower Europe via a collaborative approach to open infrastructures for open science, across all borders and all domains.

OpenAIRE/LIBER Workshop May 28, Ghent Belgium

Updated on 13 September 2013

‘Dealing with Data - what’s the role for the library?’

There are places still left for this workshop. Register now!

Overview

The past years have seen an increase in the sharing and reuse of data within a range of scientific communities. This will have far reaching effects for the research institution and librarian, not only in terms of discoverability, metadata, standards, but also in terms of infrastructure, skill-sets and practice.Librarians are seeing an increase in queries about how to handle increasingly complex research output, such as datasets, often resulting from funder mandates. In addition, many researchers don’t have an obvious data centre to use and in some cases are turning to their library for advice. The library and research institution are having to understand their role within this changing environment, and define the necessary support mechanisms.

This joint OpenAIRE/LIBER workshop plans to explore where the library sits in relation to supporting research data management, and what future expectations for libraries might be. OpenAIRE supports a range of stakeholders, namely librarians and researchers in deposit, searching as well as linking research output. LIBER supports libraries in making the transformation and acquiring an active role in evolving areas such as research data management and scientific information infrastructures.

Sessions will cover issues such as the data life-cycle, data citation, metadata and data publication. In addition, a number of scientists will present their views on how they use, share, and link research data within different domains. The day will close with a panel session, supported by members of the LIBER Steering Committee “Scholarly Communication and Research Infrastructure”,which will explore future skill-sets for librarians.

A round table discussion to address new areas of research support in libraries, in particular establishing research data management services, organizational aspects and new skills sets needed by librarians.Practitioners will report about their approaches, experiences and lessons learned, and engage the audience in the discussion.
